	The Colour of Pomegranates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Colour of Pomegranates (Sayat Nova) is a 1970 art film by the Armenian director Sergei Parajanov, considered a masterpiece by Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Antonioni.
		Its international appeal has lain partly in the fact that it uses a series of strong images, and is more dependent on these than dialogue, something which can prove a barrier to appeal to speakers of other languages.
		We see the poet grow up, fall in love, enter a monastery and die, but these incidents are depicted in the context of what are presumably images from Sayat Nova's poems, poems that are seen and rarely heard.

		All his subsequent films were infused with the spirit of folklore and ethnography: Sayat Nova, also known as Tsvet granata / The Colour of Pomegranates (1969), Legenda o Suramskoi kreposti / The Legend of Suram Fortress (1984), and Ashik Kerib (1988).
		In 1974, because of his heterodoxy, all his film projects were blocked and he was imprisoned on various trumped-up charges and released in 1978 only after an international protest campaign.
		Describing cinema as a "synthetic art", he developed Sergei Eisenstein 's concepts, using colour, rhythm, music, dancing and montage to move away from plot-constrained structures.

		The cinematic style of Sergo Paradjanov is without doubt a unique and beautiful one, and it is unfortunate that it is one which can be difficult for uninitiated viewers to appreciate fully.
		In The Colour of Pomegranates he uses formalised iconography and images, typical of his style, to illustrate the life of the eighteenth century Armenian poet Sayat Nova; "the king of Song".
		The Colour of Pomegranates is not a long film, and will prove extremely rewarding to those who make the unusual effort and actually think about what they are seeing.

		Along with films such as Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin and Paradjanov's Colour of Pomegranates, Andrei Rublev is one of the great films of the Soviet era.
		The film was not permitted to be released for several years, for it was thought too bleak and depressing for the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution.
		Director and co-writer uses scope and glorious colour to present beautiful shots of Rublev's art, which make the film very much worth seeing on the big screen.

		Vivid and iconographic, the images interweave landscapes, costumes and music to form a metaphorical history of the Armenian nation and a tangible expression of its spirit, free from any Soviet ideological constraints of the time of its making.
		The Colour of Pomegranates is a pragmatic film that acknowledges the esoteric whilst achieving this aim, in my humble opinion, professionally.
		I guess it sensitises you to the pain and beauty of life, poetry and colour.

		Given the film's age, the source print is in reasonable condition, even if it never quite scales the heights of some of the best restorations I've seen.
		The major problems are sporadic spots, scratches and tramlines (the latter being most prevalent around the 40-minute mark, which suggests a damaged reel), together with quite a few colour shifts that are almost certainly down to the original materials.
		As for the other picture issues, shadow detail is perfectly acceptable and the colours ring true, though I was surprised that the film felt so cool - the desert certainly looks convincing, but you don't feel the heat at all.

		Paradjanov's belated follow-up to The Colour of Pomegranates (after a lengthy prison sentence) has a similar approach of painterly composition in tableaux vivants.
		Focussing this time on Georgian history, and set in ruined castles and villages amidst beautiful landscapes, the plot concerns the efforts and sacrifices of the Georgian people to build a lasting fortress.
		Less successful than Pomegranates, partly because of its denser narrative, it is still very watchable for its bewitching visuals.

	The Colour of Pomegranates (Nran Gouyne) Film Review - Time Out Film
		Originally refused an export licence, Paradjanov's extraordinary film traces the life of 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova ('The King of Song'), but with a series of painterly images strung together to form tableaux corresponding to moments of his life rather than any conventional biographic techniques.
		Pomegranates bleed their juice into the shape of a map of the old region of Armenia, the poet changes sex at least once in the course of his career, angels descend: the result is a stream of religious, poetic and local iconography which has an arcane and astonishing beauty.
		Much of its meaning must remain essentially specific to the culture from which the film springs, and no one could pretend that it's all readily accessible, but audiences accustomed to the work of Tarkovsky should have little problem.
